How can I seal around this pipe on my roof?@kurkevan you'd be able to pull a new boot over the bend but if your worried just cut of the bend and glue another one on there cheap, by the by have you checked if the bend is even glued on?

How can I seal around this pipe on my roof?@kurkevan you could buy the right size boot and cut a funnel off it and side it over the existing dektite to get rid of the hollow or you could put a piece of wire under the edge of the current one pull it up and fold back the edge of the boot and silicon or similar the edge to the pipe which will seal it and prevent it from dropping down again

Why does my shower head drip when the tub faucet is on?No sounds like you've got the idea just to much pressure and the divertor spout is sending some water up to the shower, u could try putting a water restrictor on the shower hose to stop this happening if it hasn't got one already.

How do I replace this cast iron toilet flange?Not that i would endorse it in any way but if you can't cut the pipe it could just be removed from the next flange and then a PVC pipe be inserted and sealed into the old cast iron pipe... or you could just get a push in flange that will sit in the top of the cast iron flange and save yourself the trouble of mucking around with cast pipe. personally I'd be more worried about that gal pipe you have in the wall.

Adjusting a Mixer Tap Hot/Cold MixAnd as for removing the handle it will provide access to the mixer Cartridge which is non serviceable in most new taps and even if it is its not worth the trouble as you can just buy a new cartridge to replace it if you want.
